Interesting bikes in there.
Many were made or have been made, perhaps not in the style as pictured though.

I liked this one.http://https://www.motorradonline.de/media/mrd-1020928/712/150-concept-bike-mit-serienmodell-yamaha-nikenjpg.jpg

isn't 3 wheels the 'dumbing down' of 2 wheels?
On the other hand, would you prefer 2 wheels in front, or in back? In back for me! cheers! 8-)

Stability and control are far greater with the extra wheel up front.

My guess is a geometry problem with the reliant, plus a higher c of g. Some smart guy could do a rear engine, single front wheel that would be competitive. Think of an Ariel Atom with a single front wheel, and front/rear single seats!

ps: google images says I'm wrong, but I'd still like to try! :D

And even further improved when you add another at the rear...

The Harley adventure touring prototype is so darn ugly.....let's hope they do something about the looks before they actually build and sell it.
